Langsman Teaming Company, Plaintiff in Error.\nGen. No. 21,058.\n(Not to he reported in full.)\nError to the Municipal Court of Chicago; the Hon. Edmund K. Jabecki, Judge, presiding. Heard in the Branch Appellate Court at the March term, 1915.\nAffirmed.\nOpinion filed April 12, 1916.\nStatement of the Case.\nAction of tort by Bartholomae & Roesing Brewing & Malting Company, a corporation, plaintiff, against the Chicago Railways Company, a Corporation, and Langsman Teaming Company, a corporation, defendants, in the Municipal Court of Chicago, to recover for damages to plaintiff\u2019s beer wagon as a result of a collision between another wagon and a street car. To reverse a judgment for plaintiff for $78.60, defendant Langsman Teaming Company prosecutes this writ of error.\nThe case was tried by the court without a jury, which dismissed the action as against defendant Chicago Railways Company. It appeared that the cause of the accident was that defendant\u2019s wagon, which was standing in rear of plaintiff\u2019s wagon, in front of a saloon, attempted to pull out and go round plaintiff\u2019s wagon, and in so doing was struck by a street car in such fashion as to throw it against plaintiff\u2019s wagon, the impact knocking off certain barrels of beer, with which plaintiff\u2019s wagon was loaded, breaking the barrels and causing the beer to leak out.\nAbstract of the Decision.\n1. Touts, \u00a7 30 \u2014when evidence sufficient to sustain finding of negligence of joint tort feasor. In an action against joint defendants to recover for negligent damage to plaintiff\u2019s beer wagon and beer, where plaintiff had a finding against one defendant, the court dismissing the action as to the other, the plaintiff need only show, to hold the finding, that some negligent act of the defendant found guilty contributed to the injury.\n2. Torts, \u00a7 30*\u2014when evidence sufficient to sustain finding that negligence of one defendant contributed to injury. In an action to recover for negligent injury to plaintiff\u2019s beer wagon and beer by a collision between another wagon and a street car, in such fashion as to cause such other wagon to be thrown against plaintiff\u2019s wagon, damaging it, and causing certain barrels of beer to fall off and be broken, the beer flowing out, evidence held sufficient to warrant a finding that negligence on the part of the defendant found guilty contributed to the accident.\n3. Torts, \u00a7 23*\u2014when plaintiff may recover against one or ail of joint tort feasors. In an action for negligence where there are joint tort feasors, plaintiff may recover against one or all of such tort feasors.\nMeek & McDonald, for plaintiff in error.\nWinston, Payne, Strawn & Shaw, for defendant in error.\nSee Illinois Notes Digest, Vole. XI to XV, and Cumulative Quarterly, same topic and section number."
